I couldn't agree more, I also use the movie disc by mail service and can't get enough of the British and Australian dramas. I'm not that keen on the comedies but I don't really like US comedy half-hours either. There are a few I make an exception for 'Keeping Up Appearances" and "As Time Goes By," (of course anything with Dame Judi Dench and Jeffrey Palmer in it is always an exception.) Another possible fix for a lag in loading is to try a Windows freeware program called "Startup Inspector" that will tell you which programs you are loading when you start your computer so you can clean it up - my understanding is that this is using RAM that isn't necessary and that slows things down. You probably have stuff you don't even realize is loading this way I know I was really surprised at all the programs I really didn't want loading this way.
